Crazy Train: The ULTIMATE Ozzy Osbourne Tribute — Saturday, May 2, 2026 at 7pm — #LiveAtTheLyric!

Crazy Train: The ULTIMATE Ozzy Tribute!
Saturday, May 2, 2026 at 7:00PM

For those about to rock: join us Saturday May 2 at 7:00pm, for Crazy Train! Hosted by Vinny Cormier, the best Ozzy impersonator you can get, and supported by a Berklee level crew, including his son Dylan on guitar, Crazy Train delivers a captivating show unlike no other tribute, musically and visually. Crazy Train plays every show like it is LIVE AND LOUD 1993!, rolling over all of the Prince of Darkness’ noteworthy hits, from Sabbath  to Patient #9. Tickets can be purchased directly from this page; if any tickets remain at show time, they will be $5–$10 higher at the gate.

“Crazy Train is one of the very best rock tribute shows I’ve seen. They deliver an endlessly entertaining show focused on honoring Ozzy’s timeless catalog with a staggering dedication to detail. Vinny Cormier’s performance as Ozzy is simply a must-see for reasons that go beyond the visuals. Yes, he looks eerily similar to the great man, and he’s mastered all of the mannerisms, but his greatest weapon is his voice. With this band, cormier sings and performs like Osbourne at the peak of his power. — Mike Dow

Tinsley Ellis: Blues Rock LEGEND — Saturday, March 21, 2026 at 7pm — #LiveAtTheLyric!

Tinsley Ellis
Saturday, March 21, 2026 at 7:00PM

Join us Saturday March 21 at 7:00pm, as we welcome a true blues rock legend, called an “Atlanta Blues Icon” and a “Road Warrior,” due to his extensive touring and blues mastery. Tickets can be purchased directly from this page; if any tickets remain at show time, they will be $5–$10 higher at the gate.

Ellis delivers a powerful punch of deep roots blues and wicked guitar prowess…Hold on to your hat and get ready for a foot-stomping, raucous and raw good time…a joyous and triumphant celebration of acoustic music. You’ll feel it down to the bone.
          — Living Blues

Atlanta-based musician Tinsley Ellis—known for decades as one of the greatest electric blues-rock guitarists of his generation—is now also recognized as one of the very best contemporary acoustic blues guitarists, songwriters, and performers in the world. With 2024’s critically acclaimed and Blues Music Award-nominated Naked Truth, Ellis unplugged with his first-ever acoustic album. On it he mixed his own striking original songs — inspired by Son House, Skip James, Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters — with a few reinvented covers. According to No Depression, “Even though it’s just Ellis and his acoustic guitars, there’s plenty of hell-raisin’ blues going on. With the ghost of Elmore James looking over his shoulder and Wolf leaning in…Ellis proves he’s an icon.”

Glorious, raw and propulsive acoustic blues…Ellis’ resonant, crystal-clear baritone delivers chilling lyrics like an Old Testament prophet accompanied by an unruly slide guitar…killer vocals and biting, dazzling guitar work.
          — AllMusic

,

Georgia Blue, Tinsley’s first Alligator release, hit the unprepared public by surprise in 1988, as press and radio brought his music to more people than ever before. His next four releases—1989’s Fanning The Flames, 1992’s Trouble Time, 1994’s Storm Warning, and 1997’s Fire It Up—further grew his reputation as well as his audience. (His song A Quitter Never Wins, a highlight of Storm Warning, was recorded by Jonny Lang, selling almost two million copies.) Features and reviews ran in The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, and in many other national and regional publications. And he backed it all up performing hundreds of nights per year. Rolling Stone declared, “Feral blues guitar…non-stop gigging has sharpened his six-string to a razor’s edge…his eloquence dazzles…he achieves pyrotechnics that rival Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.”

Stripped down and raw, rousing and surprising…gruff unembellished vocals…glistening melodies fingerpicked with delicacy…so genuine it seems like a lost recording from decades ago.

Next to Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness.

Dad (Brian Ashton Miller) is an architect; Mom (Julianna Hamblin) rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter (Emily Provence) and son (Gavin Wilson) are bright, wise-cracking teens, and, for all intents and purposes, they appear to be a typical American family.

With a boyfriend (Jayden Bradshaw) and a well-meaning doctor (Corey Smith), the family must learn what it means to find a light in the dark. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy, and heart.

This deeply moving piece of theatre provides a wonderful opportunity for performers to explore dramatic material and showcase vocal talents with an energetic pop/rock score. Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life.

A Tribute to Eric Clapton — Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 7pm — #LiveAtTheLyric!

Heavy Wrecker
& Friends
Tribute to Eric Clapton
Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 7:00PM

Join us on November 1 at 7:00, as Billy, Will, and Dustin—Heavy Wrecker—have done it again: they’ve once again assembled a fantastic ‘supergroup’ of local musicians and vocalists to pay tribute to Eric Clapton—the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—covering the great span of his music, both from his solo career and from his time in the Yardbirds, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos.

Ever since the Led Zeppelin tribute the band organized in 2019—which was the most successful concert of purely local musicians since Screamin’ Freeman’s 24-hour Guinness World Record concert in 1999!—Billy Youngblood and his crew have led the community into a growing appreciation of the historic Lyric Theater by paying tribute to the musical craftsman who have shaped their playing and our culture as a whole. The music of Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Tom Petty has made for a unifying showcase of the talents of several local bands, and now Eric Clapton’s music will do the same. This promises to be another experience Harrison area music lovers will talk about for years, and one well worth coming from out of town to see. Tickets are on sale now!

Featuring fabulous musicians and vocalists such as Beci Coffey, Julianna Hamblin, Greg James, Billy Youngblood, Kent Coffey, Keith Lee, Dustin Witty, Joshua Still, and Will Youngblood, this is sure to be a night you won’t want to miss!

Peter and the Starcatcher, June 5–6 & June 12–13 at 7pm, June 7 & 14 at 2pm! #LiveAtTheLyric!

The Ozark Arts Council Presents:

Peter and the Starcatcher – Auditions March 20 & 21! Register by using the form below or by clicking here for audition materials and info!

 

The Ozark Arts Council presents Peter and the Starcatcher performed at the Historic 1929 Lyric Theater June 5–6 and 12–13 at 7:00PM, June 7 and 14 at 2:00PM. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (55+) and students, and $11 for children (11 and under), when bought in advance; prices rise $4 if purchased at the door—$19 for adults, $17 for seniors and students, and $15 for children. Tickets will be on sale soon!

Tony-nominated Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, the play was conceived for the stage by directors Roger Rees and Alex Timbers and written by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love.

A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, containing a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training, who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.

Join us for Peter and the Starcatcher performed at the Historic 1929 Lyric Theater June 5–6 and 12–13 at 7:00PM, June 7 and 14 at 2:00PM. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (55+) and students, and $11 for children (11 and under), when bought in advance; prices rise $4 if purchased at the door—$19 for adults, $17 for seniors and students, and $15 for children.

“Isn’t it nice when something delivers precisely on what it promises? THE CHRISTMAS TREE FARM … is just such a considerate holiday present. An 80-minute rom-com full of meet-cutes and holiday charm, the play is a yummy Christmas cookie of a holiday show. The play is fun and often adorable, but that is not to call it trivial or without substance: this is by no means a plot rolled off the Hallmark Channel assembly line. Instead, playwright Adam Szymkowicz turns a warm, thoughtful eye on the people, relationships, and unavoidable tensions that weave themselves through a local tree farm.” ⁠—⁠NJ.com

A series of vignettes, mostly love stories, all take place at a Christmas tree farm owned by the narrator. From breakups to breakdowns, meet cutes to maybe too many Santas, this holiday play about love and joy will help put you in that holly jolly spirit while you get to feast on the delicious delights of Twelve Oaks dining.

The Christmas Tree Farm will be performed at Twelve Oaks Estate on December 11 at 6:00PM (preceded by charcuterie and dessert), Friday–Saturday December 12–13 at 6:00pm (preceded by a full dinner), and Saturday–Sunday December 13–14 at 1:00PM (preceded by brunch).
